THE BOOK OF REVELATION


CHAPTER TWENTY

Revised Standard Version
(Unless Otherwise Indicated)

Verse 1: "Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain."

THIS "angel" again refers to the Lamb. "heaven" is the heaven of prophecy. He is prophesied by Name, Leland "the land." He is prophesied Where he will be found, in the "the stone with seven eyes," at Deer Lodge, Montana, and also Missoula, Montana. The Date was given by Daniel as "Blessed is he"—a person—"Leland"—in April 21, 1963, when he began his mission, marked by being opposed by Satan. And his Mission is "the Son" returned to establish his Father's Kingdom. It is to get the Christians to return to the religion of Jesus and the apostles, giving up the corruptions that crept into Christianity, which Paganized it, such as the trinity and the Incarnate god Lie. For the Baha'is it is to get them to return to the Covenant of Baha'u'llah and the Will and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Baha that was set up by Shoghi Effendi, and thus giving up the corruption that recently invaded the Baha'i faith by the Arch Covenant-breakers of Ruhiyyih Khanum and the Covenant-breaking "Hands" that by-passed Shoghi Effendi's son and did away with the Executive Branch of the Universal House of Justice, setting up a headless monster in its place.

"the bottomless pit" is the pit of error, the waywardness of the world or the turning away of mankind from God and His Messengers that are prophesied in Holy Writ, and the corrupting of their messages, such as the trinity doctrine and the Incarnate god Lie of the Christians and the Covenant-breaking of the "mainstream Baha'is." By exposing their corruption and violation they are given an opportunity to return to the true teachings of Jesus and to the Covenant of Baha'u'llah, and avoid being thrown into the fire of purification.

"the key" is the exposing of the corruptions so it can be thrown into the bottomless pit, so that it will no longer corrupt and plague mankind, so that we can enter into the promised thousand years of peace.

"a great chain" symbolizes the great catastrophes that are to be so severe and destructive that the minds of man will be chained up so they won't even think about going against the Promised Ones and their messages including the explanations and commentaries of Jesus the Lamb.

Verse 2: "And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years,"

"the dragon, that ancient serpent who is the Devil and Satan", is the twisted intellect of those that go against God and His Promised Ones. The serpent is a symbol of the intellect through which we know all things both secular and the abstract. For a thousand years, because of the great catastrophes, the people won't even think about going against the Revelation of Baha'u'llah and His Covenant. The doctors have for their symbol two serpents around the staff of life, the two serpents represents both physician and surgeon who are knowledgeable in their profession.

Verse 3: "and threw him into the pit, and shut it, and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years were ended. After that he must be loosed for a little while."

"and threw him", the twisted intellect of man, into the pit and sealed it over for a full thousand years. That is, like the twisted intellect that created the doctrine of the trinity of the Christians; and that of the Headless monster UHJ, created by Ruhiyyih Khanum and the Covenant-breaking "Hands."

The four winds of destruction will be so severe that it will bring an end to man's rebellion against God and His will for a full "thousand years." This means that for one thousand years mankind will follow the Laws, Teachings and the Covenant of Baha'u'llah which have been Revealed by Baha'u'llah and explained by the Lamb. Man will reject all satanic impulses. They will not swerve a hairs breadth to the right or to the left, because of the severe punishment of the four winds of destruction that fell upon wayward mankind.

'Abdu'l-Baha was appointed by Baha'u'llah to delineate His Revelation of a Universal House of Justice; and Shoghi Effendi, with his two Seven-Year Plans, and his Ten-Year Plan, in the ten year world crusade, brought this around the world. But the wicked Arch Covenant-breakers upon the passing of Shoghi Effendi, did away with Baha'u'llah's Universal House of Justice by doing away the Executive Branch (W&T, p. 15), which was Baha'u'llah's lineage back to King David and was to last forever. The Lamb is reestablishing that lineage of Baha'u'llah, the Executive Branch, back into the world so that we can have Universal Peace.

After the one thousand years have passed another Manifestation will appear and He will be rejected by the people. Mankind will again fall away from God, pursuing his own desires and Satanic ways but this will last "for a little while" only. Then Satan will be destroyed for ever.

Verse 4: "Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom Judgement was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus and for the word of God, and who had not worshipped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life, and reigned with Christ a thousand years."

"those to whom Judgement is committed" are the twenty-four elders with each seated upon their own thrones. These are the Apostles of the Lamb. They are members of the second International Baha'i Council and to them Judgement is committed.

"the souls of those who had been beheaded" is the first International Baha'i Council, that was beheaded by Ruhiyyih Khanum and the "Hands" in 1959. The apostles of the Lamb, for their testimony of Jesus, are not part of the Covenant-breakers who have a headless monster. The second International Baha'i Council gives their testimony to Jesus on his second coming, and to the word of God. They had not worshipped the beast or its image, the United Nations, and don't have its mark on their forehead or their hands. The first International Baha'i Council which was embryonic during the life of Shoghi Effendi, and was dead among the Covenant-breakers, came to life in 1991, as the second International Baha'i Council, through the testimony of Jesus on his second coming, and reigned with the second coming of Christ, Baha'u'llah, and His Universal House of Justice that has the Executive Branch, for a full thousand years. The word "Christ" refers to the Davidic lineage of Baha'u'llah and His successors as the Executive Branch of the Universal House of Justice.

Baha'u'llah is the second Christ. "Christ" means the Davidic Kingship which was Baha'u'llah's genealogy and was continued in Baha'u'llah's Covenant appointing 'Abdu'l-Baha to be His successor. And 'Abdu'l-Baha adopted Mason Remey to be his son to continue the Davidic lineage in a gentile. And Shoghi Effendi placed him at the head of the International Baha'i Council, making him and his successors the heads of the Universal House of Justice. This lineage of King David (Christ) will last forever (Psalms 89). The Covenant-breaking "Baha'is," who are dead by their violation of Baha'u'llah's Covenant, has thus prevented them from recognizing the return of Jesus the Lamb and be guided by him. Therefore, during the Great Catastrophe, they will suffer immensely, along with the Trinitarian Christians who are looking at the sky, instead of heaven, for the return of Jesus; and therefore they miss him on his second coming. So they don't have the guidance of the one God sent to save them. When the four winds of destruction are completed, God's Kingdom will be established on earth as it is in heaven. Then the whole world becomes Baha'i (come to life), that is, they will reign with Christ for a thousand years. The Covenant-breakers will either perish in the great catastrophe or become believers in this Davidic lineage that they had thrown out.

Verse 5: "The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection.

Verse 6: "Blessed and holy is he who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and they shall reign with him a thousand years."

"the rest of the dead" are those people who will fall away from God, and turn to the ways of Satan, when he is let loose again from the pit after the one thousand years have passed and the advent of the next Manifestation is proclaimed. He will be opposed by Satan, the twisted intellect, that had been let loose from the pit.

"the first resurrection" occurs when one accepts the Revelation of Baha'u'llah. At this time they become spiritually alive, or are born of the spirit.

"the second death" refers to the physical death; that of the body. If one is alive spiritually, this second death does not affect him.

"Christ" again this refers to the Davidic lineage, of both Jesus Christ and Baha'u'llah Christ.

Those "who shares in the first resurrection" are those who survive the four winds of destruction.

"they [the Baha'i world][1] shall reign with him a thousand years" means that they will serve the Davidic Kingship—the Guardian—until the one thousand years have passed.

Verse 7: "And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be loosed from his prison

Verse 8: "and will come out to deceive the nations which are at the four corners of the earth, that is, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea."

"the nations" will be those countries which exist in the world at the end of the one thousand years. They will be victims of Satan's deception—their own twisted mind—and won't recognize or accept the new Manifestation of God when He Appears and Proclaims Himself. Just like the Christians today don't accept the return of Christ in Baha'u'llah, and the Covenant-breaking "Baha'is" don't accept the return of Jesus in "the land" Leland. Gog today is Yeltsin [2] that is drunken and sick with a severe heart condition and has the nuclear button in his hand all the time, and all he has to do is punch it and we are in World War III. Magog is the Russian Empire that will unite for one day (the day of the nuclear war) with Iran and Iraq. In a thousand years there will be another nuclear war and the situation will be similar to today, that is why the symbol of Gog and Magog.

Verse 9: "And they marched up over the broad earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city; but fire came down from heaven and consumed them,"

"the saints" are those who remain firm believers in the Covenant and the true Revelation of God. But they will be deceived by the Covenant-breakers like the so-called "mainstream Baha'is" now, that are deceived by Ruhiyyih Khanum that murdered Shoghi Effendi, and tried to murder his son.

"the beloved city" refers to the Law of God.

"fire" symbolizes a second nuclear catastrophe which would again destroy those who have turned away from God.

Verse 10: "and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night for ever and ever."

"the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet were" symbolizes the nuclear war that is upon mankind at this very time in which the beast and false prophet will be destroyed. In one thousand years, there will be a second nuclear war to destroy the Covenant-breakers and Satan, their own twisted intellect, "who had deceived them," like Ruhiyyih Khanum and Hasan Balyuzi had deceived the entire Baha'i world except for a very few.

"they will be tormented day and night forever and ever" means that the minds of men may be tormented by desires that are counter to God, but those satanic minds will never again be able to oppose God. However, those who led the entire Baha'i world astray today, and those that will lead them astray a thousand years from now, will suffer eternally. They would have been better off if they were never born into this world. The worst thing that can happen to anyone is to know the truth and then go against it. These violators knew what they were doing. They thought that they could remain in control like the Papacy remained in control of Christianity ever since the time of the Apostles.

Verse 11: "Then I saw a great white throne and him who sat upon it; from his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them."

The previous verses revealed those events which will take place one thousand years after God's Kingdom is established. This verse begins with "Then I saw" to indicate that this part of the vision John is receiving is not a continuation of what he has seen to happen a thousand years from now. What is now revealed to John pertains to this period of time that we live in now, which is prior to the establishment of God's Kingdom.

Verse 12: "And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Also another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, by what they had done."

The "books" are the many writings of Baha'u'llah, 'Abdu'l-Baha and Shoghi Effendi. The other book that was opened is "the book of life" of the Lamb that contains the written explanations of the Lamb, which includes the explanations found here in this writing.

"the dead" are those that have not yet read these books, especially the Covenant-breakers that have not read the Book of Life of the Lamb. This is because they have been lied to by the Arch Covenant-breaker, Ruhiyyih Khanum and the "Hands." They hate the ones that they were told to hate, by their very wicked Covenant-breaking bosses, therefore they are shut out of salvation, as the message they need for salvation is the explanations and commentaries of the Lamb's Book of Life.

"And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie. That they all might be damned who believe not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." (2 Thessalonians 2:8-12 KJV)

This LIE of course is the lie of the Arch Covenant-breakers, by slandering those that are faithful to the Covenant, with their lying epithet of Covenant-breaker. Their reason is to have their deceived followers to shun those that are faithful to the Covenant; this tactic is to keep their betrayed followers from learning the truth of the matter.

This also applies to the Christians:

"Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God." (2 Thess. 2:3, 4 KJV)

That day pertains to today: the day of the establishing of the Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. But that day cannot come unless the son of perdition is exposed by the return of Jesus the Lamb. Perdition means utter destruction. In the days of the apostles there were no church buildings or Cathedrals. All meeting places, a house, a barn, or a tent, was called a temple. Like Moses set up a tent and called it a Tabernacle, or temple. When the Christians deified Jesus making him God, and placed him in the temple as God in the place of God, they worshipped him as God, as they do today in the various Churches and Cathedrals. Thus this deified "Jesus" of the Christians today is the man of sin worshipped as God in the place of God. The lie is that they say God became incarnate in Jesus, and thus Jesus is God. Which is a boldface LIE. Jesus the Lamb on his return has revealed who this man of sin is that the Christians worship as God in the place of God. That is, the Christians hold that God became incarnate in Jesus, or the Incarnate god LIE.

"And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a LIE." (2 Thess. 2:11 KJV)

Today Jesus is telling the deluded Covenant-breaking "Baha'is," and the deluded Christians, the same thing that he told them in the gospels, circa nineteen hundred years ago "come out of her my people that you don't partake of her sins or share in her plagues for her sins are heaped as high as heaven." The plagues that they are about to go through is the hell's fire of the thermonuclear war, where they will burn in the cities of America, Europe and the Middle East. And their plight in the next life will be even worse than their burning in their cities here, it will be everlasting hell and damnation, and there will be no escape. The invectives and vituperations that some Christians and Covenant-breakers are hurling against the second coming of Jesus the Lamb are about the same as the Jews hurled against Jesus back then, such as "Beelzebub," the Devil (Matt. 12:24).

Verse 13: "And the sea gave up the dead in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead in them, and all were judged by what they had done."

"the sea" is the Revelation of Baha'u'llah. The "dead in it" are the Covenant-breakers. Death and Hades pertains to all the other apostate religions. The "dead in it" are those who are indoctrinated in the false teachings of these apostate religions, which exist in the world today with each claiming to be the true religion of God. "Death and Hades" also represents those people who are on the outside. They do not accept the indoctrination of these apostate religions, but neither do they seek the true Revelation of God. Hades means hell. Hell is not knowing the Manifestation of God, and His establisher the Lamb, therefore going away from God, rather than drawing nearer to Him. This is spiritual death, or hell.

Verse 14: "Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire;"

This means in the nuclear war Death and Hades will be destroyed. That is after the catastrophe all of mankind will become Baha'is. Spiritual death—the failure to recognize the Manifestation of God, or to go against Him. Hades and hell will cease to exist. All will be spiritual, "Death and Hades" will be no more.

"the second death" is the physical separation of body and soul. If one is alive spiritually there is no sorrow in the second death. However, those who are not spiritually alive have much reason to dread the second death.

The physical existence we have is our opportunity to recognize and accept God. In doing this we acquire Godly attributes and are able to advance toward God, and possibly obtain that station which God has ordained, or put aside for us in the next life. We can hasten or halt our progress toward that station by our beliefs, and the deeds that we do in this life. If we do not accomplish this during our existence here on the physical plane, we enter the next life handicapped. Our progress toward that station in the next life is only by God's Mercy. There is no free will in the next life. Those that come into the Kingdom here on earth receive the pearl of great price, for they used their free will to come into the Kingdom. This pearl of great price is the High station that God had set aside for them, which is glorious beyond all conceptions.

Verse 15: "and if any one's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."

Those that are written in the Lamb's "book of life" are those that come into the Kingdom by the Lamb's book of explanations and commentaries, and inherit eternal bliss. Those who are without this guidance become victims of the oncoming thermonuclear war and the other three catastrophes that follow and perish. Every one will get what they deserve.
